【考案の詳細な説明】 本考案は、表皮の厚い柑橘類の収納ネツトに関
するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage net for citrus fruits with a thick skin.

従来、例えば夏ミカン・はつさく・ザボン等の
表皮の厚い柑橘類は、該厚い表皮を剥くことが難
易であることから、消費者に敬遠され、需要が伸
悩む傾向があつた。 Conventionally, citrus fruits with thick skins, such as summer mandarin oranges, honeysuckle, and pomelo, have been avoided by consumers because it is difficult to peel the thick skins, and demand has tended to be sluggish.

本考案は、それら柑橘類の収納具として多用さ

喚起せんとするものである。 The present invention improves the well-known thermoplastic storage net, which is often used as a storage device for citrus fruits, and adds a skin cutting function to make it easier to peel off the thick skin, thereby making it easier for consumers to remove the skin. The aim is to provide convenience and stimulate demand for these citrus fruits.

たものである。 That is, in the known storage net made of thermoplastic plastic, a cylindrical net having a mesh of arbitrary roughness is cut to a desired length, and either end is tied to a suitable binding means, i.e., the net itself. It has an extremely simple structure in which it is bound by an appropriate binding means, such as by melting and resolidifying it, by fastening it using fasteners, or by gluing it with adhesive. , the opposite side of the tied end,
Depending on the amount of citrus fruits to be stored, etc., it is sufficient to block the net with a separate appropriate means, and since it is highly elastic, the storage function is extremely good. However, the storage net according to the present invention further includes: A cutting blade for cutting the skin, which is made by modifying one end of a storage net, is attached integrally.

の拡大に結び付く可能性が大きい。 According to the storage net having such a structure, thick skins of citrus fruits can be easily peeled off by making incisions in advance at appropriate positions on the skins of citrus fruits using the cutting blade, which is very convenient for consumers. There is a strong possibility that this will lead to an increase in demand.

以下本考案を図面に例示した実施の一例と共に
更に詳述する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to an example of implementation illustrated in the drawings.

本考案に係る収納ネツトは、例えば第１図に例

を収納した後に、前記結束端部１ａの反対側を、
別途に適切な手段（図示省略）により閉塞して用
いる。 The storage net according to the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 1, has a cutting blade for cutting the skin, which is formed by modifying a part of the storage net 1, at the binding end 1a of the storage net 1 made of thermoplastic plastic. 2 is attached in one piece, and as usual, thick-skinned citrus fruits 3
After storing, the opposite side of the bundled end 1a,
Separately, it is used after being closed by appropriate means (not shown).

斯様な構成で成る収納ネツト１は、伸縮性に富
み、収納機能が著しく良好であるのは勿論のこ
と、柑橘類３を取出して食するに際しては、第２
図に例示する如く、前記切刃２を用いて予め柑橘
類３の表皮の適当な位置に切れ目４を入れること
によつて、厚い表皮を難なく剥くことができるの
で、消費者にとつて至便であり、需要の拡大に結
び付く可能性が大きい。 The storage net 1 having such a structure is highly elastic and has an extremely good storage function.
As illustrated in the figure, by making cuts 4 in advance at appropriate positions on the epidermis of citrus fruits 3 using the cutting blade 2, the thick epidermis can be easily peeled off, which is very convenient for consumers. , there is a high possibility that this will lead to an increase in demand.

また前記切刃は、収納ネツトの一部を変造し

の特性を活用して、収納ネツト本体の一部を変造
するものであるから、それに要するコストは極め
て僅かで済み、需要の拡大を図る上で、採算性が
支障となる虞は殆どない。 In addition, the cutting blade is made by modifying a part of the storage net, specifically, by melting it once at an appropriate temperature (it does not necessarily have to be melted to the extent that it flows) and, for example, using a piece of metal having a recess of a desired shape. It can be easily formed into the desired shape by means of compaction and solidification, or simply by hand processing using pliers, etc., but in any case, it is possible to form it into the desired shape by taking advantage of the properties of thermoplastic. Since a part of the main body of the storage net is altered, the cost required for this modification is extremely small, and there is almost no possibility that profitability will be a hindrance to increasing demand.

尚、前記切刃の形成に伴つて、結果的に収納ネ
ツトの一方の端部が結束されることになるので、
原則的に従来の結束手段は不要となるが、必要に
応じては、締結金具等による結束手段を併用して
も差支えない。 Incidentally, as the cutting edge is formed, one end of the storage net will be bound as a result.
In principle, conventional binding means are not required, but if necessary, binding means such as fasteners may be used in combination.

また前記切刃の形状としては、前記実施例に例

の切掛けとなる切り目を入れ得る形状であれば足
り、また安全性からして、切刃の刃先は然程鋭利
にする必要はない。 In addition, the shape of the cutting edge may be a sickle-like shape as exemplified in the embodiment described above, or, although not shown in the drawings,
Various shapes can be mentioned, such as double-edged, single-edged, semicircular, etc., and as exemplified in the above embodiment, it has a flange 2a on the base end side, and the height from the flange 2a to the tip of the blade. It is preferable that the thickness of the citrus fruit 3 is approximately the same as the thickness of the epidermis of the citrus fruit 3, but the shape is not necessarily limited to those shapes. It is sufficient, and from the standpoint of safety, the cutting edge of the cutting blade does not need to be very sharp.
